How do I put a spin on the ball in slow pitch arc softball?
A few hundred years back, Sir Issac Newton created three important laws that stands as pillars of classical physics. These laws are:Law 1. An object continues in its initial state of rest or motion with uniform velocity unless it is acted on by an unbalanced, or net external, force.
Law 2. The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass and directly proportional to the net external force acting on it.
Law 3. Forces always occur in pairs.
All right, here are the laws in plain English, they are actually quite simple:
Law 1. Unless you do something to an object, it will not move.
Law 2. F=ma (This will be explained later on, but if you really want to know.
Law 3. If you push an object, it will push back.
Okay, so what do all these laws have to do with the path of a baseball?
Well, everything. When the ball is hit by the bat, the bat exchanges its momentum to the ball and the ball flies away. While the ball flies, both gravity and air will exert a force on the ball, with gravity pulling the ball downward.
